    Backfires can damage the power valve inside the carburetor. I don't know if that would lead to the power loss you're describing but it may be a start. Btw, There's not nearly enough old Dodge pickups on the road. Glad you're giving this one a shot.

Before he ever got it running, he gave up and it got sold!! Last year I made the mistake of buying a 2005 Dodge K3500 Cummins. I drove it home but have never been able to get it on the road due to electrical gremlins!!!

    • @ThisNThatGarage
      @ThisNThatGarage  2 роки тому +2

      It's not an automatic oiler and unless the case is cracked bar oil aint getting in the crankcase. The fuel line was melted and has most likely stopped up the carb. Look for a video on it soon.

    Love the channel and love your content! You work on everything and I learn a lot, so I thought I may share some tips. I worked for a tree service and when handling a job like that pull the tractor or a truck, something heavier than the limb lol. Rope off the fallen limb, not lift off to remove but to clear obstacle and support weight. Rope off with limbs equal or bigger. Before dropping to the ground if you want to clear limbs support limbs will kill you if not dealt with trees cannot be predicted to 100%, so please take caution. We would go around and kick limbs and cut into sections to control fall to the ground. Just some tips I know your no beginner just throwing in my two cents again love the channel!

    When you are trying to reshape any metal that has been stretched opposite of the original contour....
    You need to stretch past that line/ past the original shape. It will recoil on you.
    In other words... over stretch it in the opposite direction. Every time you lifted the roofline, you stopped just when it lifted to the height of the rest of the roof. You gotta keep going so when it is released, it will only drop down to the original height.
    Over stretch to reshape.
